The presentation will introduce developers to Jersey the production quality JAX-RS reference implementation and a number of additional features, some of which integrate with other interesting open source projects. Jersey and JAX-RS make it easier to build RESTful Web services.

The presentation will not go into detail about what is REST nor into advanced details of the JAX-RS API unless attendees wish to ask specific questions.

Live-coding demos will be presented in preference to slides.

The following topics will be covered (as time permits):

Overview of the JAX-RS API

Using a resource class as a stateless session bean. Using a resource class as a CDI-managed bean.

Using Jersey with Atmosphere for RESTful and portable Asynchronous Web services.

Paul Sandoz is the co-spec lead for JSR 311: JAX-RS: The Java API for RESTful Web Services and the implementation lead for the production quality reference implementation, Jersey. When the mood of verbosity arises Paul blogs on JAX-RS/JerseyRelated links :
